Write a translation rule that maps point D(7,-3) onto point D'(2,5)

Question

This is a question from my study guide. Please answer this question with the steps of how you did it so I can see how you got your answer and learn from that. Thank you so much 

Answer 1

A translation is the change in location according to change in x coordinate and y coordinate.

 

D_translation = [ (D'_x - D_x) , (D'_y - D_y) ]

 

            = [ (2 - 7) , (5 - (-3)) ]

               

            = [ -5, 8 ]

 

 

This means that point D moved 5 units to the left and 8 units up.
